After the dinner, we had some wine.  And they told us about their last trip to St. Louis, Missouri.  So I said that I lived in Missouri for several years.  Then my wife said &#8220;Oh, honey, I didn&#8217;t know you lived in Missouri before.  How long?&#8221;  I just went to college there in the late 80s.  But my wife and the couple kept asking me questions like what&#8217;s the state capital of Missouri, and what is state&#8217;s nickname.  Then my wife said &#8220;Honey, what does the Missouri number plate look like?&#8221;  That&#8217;s when I snapped like a cow with the mad cow disease.  And I said &#8220;All right, all right, you want to see my old Missouri tag?  I&#8217;ll show it to you.&#8221;  I slammed a door and then went to the garage to look for my old number plate.  And I remembered that I threw it away a long time ago.  Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa&#8230;  I had no choice.  So I turned on my iMac and launched Adobe Photoshop CS2.  In a matter of 15 minutes or so, I designed my old Missouri tag.  After I showed it to them, they all looked like they were convinced that I lived in Missouri.<\/p>\n<p>In this Photoshop CS 2 video tutorial, we design a dark red Missouri number plate.  Some of the techniques used in this tutorial include Smooth, Bevel and Emboss, Contour, Rasterize and Group into New Smart Object.  So there isn&#8217;t really anything special to show off.  <!--more--><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mhvt.net\/quicktime\/eng\/screenshots\/adobe_photoshop\/ps_design_16_missouri_number_plate_1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mhvt.net\/quicktime\/eng\/screenshots\/adobe_photoshop\/ps_design_16_missouri_number_plate_1.jpg\" height=\"165\" width=\"220\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop video tutorial\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mhvt.net\/quicktime\/eng\/screenshots\/adobe_photoshop\/ps_design_16_missouri_number_plate_2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mhvt.net\/quicktime\/eng\/screenshots\/adobe_photoshop\/ps_design_16_missouri_number_plate_2.jpg\" height=\"165\" width=\"220\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop video tutorial\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><\/p>\n<li>Adobe Photoshop version: 9.0.1<\/li>\n<li>VTC version: 1.0<\/li>\n<li>Length: 13 minutes 59 seconds<\/li>\n<li>Video format: QuickTime<\/li>\n<li>Video compression: H.264<\/li>\n<li>Pixel size: 900 x 675<\/li>\n<li>Audio effects: Enabled<\/li>\n<li>Audio commentary: Enabled<\/li>\n<p><\/br><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><\/p>\n<table width=\"440\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\">\n<tr>\n<td width=\"200\"><a href=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"machouse\/video_tutorials_no_visitors.gif\" alt=\"Mac video tutorials\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<td>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<td width=\"200\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mhvt.net\/quicktime\/eng\/vtc\/adobe_photoshop\/photoshop_cs2_design_16_number_plate.php\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"machouse\/video_tutorials_members.gif\" alt=\"Mac video tutorials\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p>Please read <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mhvt.net\/quicktime\/eng\/terms_guests.php\">Terms of Use for Guests<\/a> before watching any of the video tutorials.<br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\nAdobe Photoshop CS2 is a product of Adobe Systems Incorporated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adobe Photoshop Creative Design #16: Designing Missouri Number Plate The other day, my wife and I invited a couple living at the next door to a dinner.
